ISIS Is A Trivial Threat Relative To Global Warming

"Shark Attacks Rise Worldwide: Risk Assessment and Aquinas' Criteria For Sin"



***


"What does it take to generate a global response to a global threat? The financial crisis of 2008 and the threats from insurgency and terrorism in 2014 are seen as 'clear and present dangers' to one and all — and both have drawn a global response. Meanwhile, climate change, and the devastating effects of carbon-dioxide emissions, pose greater and longer-term threats, and yet have elicited only a feeble response....World leaders must act on all global challenges when they recognize them. Preventing bank failures and stopping terrorist attacks are important goals; unless we get serious about addressing climate change, we are likely to have more of both." Donald Kaberuka in Project Syndicate.
